Die Kunst muss raus
30.10.2011, 20:32 | vor 208 Tagen  
Die Kunst muss raus Wieder einmal steht ein Berliner Künstlerhaus vor dem Aus. Der Atelier- und Ausstellungsort in der Landsberger Allee 54 wurde am 20.10.2011 offiziell für die Öffentlichkeit gesperrt. Grund: Bauliche Mängel und Gefahr in Verzug für Mieter und Besucher. Viele der 70 ansässigen Künstler und Galeristen reagierten geschockt auf diese Nachricht. Hofften sie doch noch am Mittwoch, die drohende Räumung durch den neuen Eigentümer, die Estavis AG, abwenden zu können. Das nun das Berliner Bauaufsichtamt als letzte Instanz in einem Konflikt auftritt, der seit Monaten zwischen Pächter Daniel Künzel, der Estavis AG und den Mietern herrscht ist trauriger Höhepunkt in dieser Angelegenheit. Denn immer wieder wiesen die Mieter, die Verantwortlichen auf gravierende Mängel am Gebäude hin, ohne dass diese reagierten. Um die nötigsten Reparaturen zu finanzieren, [..]

Clemence de la Tour du Pin "What owes the space to the silence? Still not sure" 2011 (video projection, neon light and writing) Clemence de La Tour du Pin is a French artist currently working in Berlin. Her performative installations "become messy monuments to their own creative process," capturing elements of the everyday, with found materials and familiar themes recurring throughout the spaces she manipulates. At the midpoint of the Mica Moca project at this location, Clemence de la Tour du Pin presents an animation which refers to the ephemeral nature of such art projects. With Berlin changing and getting more commercially developed, she questions whether the possibilities it offers to artists will still be available in the future. clemencedelatourdupin.blogspot.com/ From: Playground Berlin Weekend at Mica Moca July 16 & 17 2011 site-specific installations & performances An [..]

Portrait Arrows by Karl Addison & James Bullough for Playground Berlin Weekend at Mica Moca
21.07.2011, 18:33 | vor 309 Tagen  
A collaboration art installation by James Bullough & Karl Addison for Playground Berlin Weekend at Mica Moca. An international selection of artists has been invited to conceive site specific work for the Mica Moca building, a former safe factory in the working class district Berlin Wedding. James’s work explores the balance between contrasting elements. Abstract graffiti inspired backgrounds live with color and texture are met with intensely realistic images. Highly rendered portraits float atop layers of ambient space and geometric forms. Contemporary street art techniques and materials collide with those of the realist oil painters James admires. Addison’s purpose (it seems) is three-fold: to amuse us the first time we discover one of his pieces, to draw us in—inviting us to take a closer look, and to make us stop and see every minute detail—and in a sense, to stop and see him.

Paul Polaris, Tobias von Glenck & Martin Lorenz - von und zu - at Playground Berlin/Mica Moca
21.07.2011, 18:01 | vor 309 Tagen  
For the "von und zu" performance which Paul Polaris presented at Kunstverein Zurich she worked with objects covered in wood-, marble,- and steel-like material and experimented with their sounds and meaning. She has now developed this idea into a cooperation with the two musicians Tobias von Glenck & Martin Lorenz and their project Trabant Echo. With e-bass and turntables they improvise on classical music samples, "imitating" acoustic instruments and thereby generate new sounds. Jointly the three artists explore their aim to work on fragile moments, creating a dense carpet of sounds, movements and images. paulpolaris.com/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIWOh3JJlyY www.trabant-echo.net Playground Berlin Weekend at Mica Moca: site-specific installations & performances.

Location: Mica Moca lindower strasse 22, Wedding Berlin, Germany SATURDAY 13.00 to 24.00 SUNDAY 16.00 to 24.00 CONCEPT: An international selection of artists has been invited to conceive site specific work for the Mica Moca building, a former safe factory in the Berlin Wedding. From subtle architectonic interventions, to participatory performances, to installations made from found materials to projections; many of the invited artists have ample experience creating informal ephemeral installations for Berlin's much quoted „temporary spaces“ - the city's special post-Wall situation of limitless derelict space, small means, and a lack of professional art structures has created the setting for what has become an art historic niche for independent artists.

Gallery Weekend at LA54 - May 28th 2011
25.05.2011, 20:33 | vor 366 Tagen  
In “a Berlin torn between its anti-market roots and the increasing dominance of commercial galleries, between general gentrification and preserving pockets of its Bohemian spirit” we can still find adventurous art projects like those taking place at the atmospheric environment of the Old Brewery at Landsberger Allee 54 in Friedrichshain. For how long is unclear; after having been let down by the Senat of Berlin in its quest for recognition as an artist’s house, the site is currently the object of the fantasies of possible new investors. Against all odds, and fully self-supporting, the art spaces G11, 91 MQ, Marzia Frozen, KunstKliniKum and Kunstraum Richard Sorge continue to present cutting edge exhibitions that would not be possible in this way in any other place in Berlin. The weekend of May 28th and 29th, starting at 3 pm daily, the curators invite you to a joint weekend of [..]

Opening on the historically significant date of May 8th, the day of German capitulation in WWII, the solo exhibition by the noted Berlin-based conceptual artist thematizes war. The main piece of "slachten" will be a large mural work made out of fretwork. Hundreds of painstakingly hand cut figures will be installed by the artist, amounting to a huge ornamental "war painting". Liberally using and recombining familiar silhouettes and vignetters from our collective memory, art history, and war reportage, Kloppmann depicts a broad panorama of war in all its stages: attack, counter attack, displacement. A selection from Kloppmann's Bulllet Boulevard series will also be on view; gypsum replicas of war damages taken from facades of the cityscape of Berlin. http://www.kloppmann.org/ http://www.kunstraumrichardsorge.org/

After a certain familiarity with these flourishings of an exalted feverishness, lived so fully and so intensely by their authors, we cannot avoid the feeling that in relation to these works, cultural art in its entirety appears to be the game of a futile society, a fallacious parade."

Kunstraum Richard Sorge is the setting for a photography exhibition that maps the complex area between empathy and exploitation, identification and voyeurism. According to the Urban Dictionary, “streeple” denominates street people. The show’s photographers view their subjects as protagonists, not models; they are chosen and documented for what they are, and not brought to play any kind of role. Photographed (or casted) in the streets, they (and we, the viewers) are made aware of their specialness. Placed at the center of attention, the protagonists are drawn into a dialog with the [..]

Exhibition: Mehdi-Georges Lahlou - Les Talons d'Allah
03.09.2010, 18:42 | vor 630 Tagen  
Born of a Christian mother and Muslim father, Brussels-based French-Moroccan artist Mehdi-Georges Lahlou learned early on the value of relativism. The theme of crossing boundaries set by culture, religion and gender is present in all of his installations and performances. While his works appears at first sight political, for instance tackling Orientalism and gender issues in Islam, it is important to the artist that it be viewed first and foremost as an open, poetic autobiographical gesture to be judged on art's own terms. The artist draws not only on the history of performance and installation-art, but also incorporates references to Belgian Surrealism in his works. In Lahlou's art we find humor, poetics, guts, dedication, refined artistic intuition, personal risk taking and social relevance. For his one-man show at Kunstraum Richard Sorge, in Berlin, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou will [..]

It is just so cool not to speak German.. Preview the mag More press clippings on Flickr.
